About

I am a motivated current Sixth Form Student who will be a Law with Criminology Undergraduate at Oxford Brooke's university starting in September 2026. I have experience in volunteering with local initiatives such as ParkRun, and hold a National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ), demonstrating responsibility, attention to safety, and teamwork. My academic background, including GCSEs in Spanish, English Literature, English Language, Mathematics, Chemistry, History, and Art, has developed my analytical, research and community skills. I am looking for part-time work alongside my studies, ideally in roles where I can continue to develop my organisational, problem solving, and customer service skills, while contributing positively to the team and the community
